Morning Glories, Vol. 1: For a Better Future by Nick Spencer

3 stars I don’t even know where to start with this one.First of all the characters were awful. Each one was so two dimensional and stereotypical, it was hard to take any if them seriously. They were so irritatingly fake that it was hard to get into the story. To make matters worse, the characters…

Dorothy and the Wizard in Oz by L. Frank Baum

3 stars I was rather disappointed to see Dorothy make such a big comeback in the series considering I absolutely cannot stand her. Her character is written as weak and idiotic to the point of extreme annoyance and ridiculous sexism (seriously you really needed to say Dorothy fainted while Zeb did not because he is…

The God Delusion by Richard Dawkins

4 stars This took me a while to get through, not because it was bad, but because there is a lot of information and material to get through and understand (and I had to take multiple breaks to get away from the realistic, logical arguments and read something fun).Overall, I think this was very well…

The Walking Dead, Vol. 3: Safety Behind Bars by Robert Kirkman

3 stars Very chaotic all-over-the-place storyline. A little difficult to follow with all the time jumps and back-and-forth scenes, but definitely a good read. This volume made me hate Lori even more than I did watching the show, but there was enough appeal in the rest of the characters to keep me engaged. Definitely want…

Blue Monday Volume 1: The Kids are Alright by Chynna Clugston Flores

1 star Garbage. Complete garbage.After reading the Hopeless Savages Volume 1 series, I figured I’d give more of Clugston’s work a try. And oh my gosh was that a mistake. The artwork was fine when not depicting teenage girls in their undergarments or wearing shirts that show off their balloon-breasts. But the dialog and the…

The Riddle Box by G. Derek Adams

3 stars I received this book from Goodreads in exchange for an honest review. This was a very interesting book. This is the first of the series that I have read, but from what I can tell it is not absolutely necessary th read the first book (although based on this one I would like…

The Zombie Survival Guide: Recorded Attacks by Max Brooks

4 stars So for anyone who didn’t know, there is no new material in this graphic novel that is not in The Zombie Survival Guide: Complete Protection from the Living Dead in Recorded Attacks. Apparently that is a huge misconception. Basically all this book does is illustrate some of the more interesting attacks stories already…

Batgirl, Vol. 1: The Darkest Reflection by Gail Simone

5 stars Awesome!I love this reboot. While there are still a few “male gaze” positions Batgirl is drawn in, her costume is much improved. I really liked her hilarious commentary, especially during fight scenes. She has some uncertainty in herself, but she’s smart and still manages to figures things out. There is such a realistic…
